The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at an approximate altitude of 612 km. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of the Eart

h is 5.97×1024 kg. The Earth's average radius is 6.38×106 m. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Hubble?

Answer:

magnitude of the gravitational force is 9.04 × $10^{4}$ N

Explanation:

given data

altitude = A = 612 km = 612000 m

mass M = 11,100 kg

mass of the Earth m = 5.97 × $10^{24}$ kg

Earth average radius = 6.38 × $10^{6}$ m

to find out

magnitude of the gravitational force

solution

first we get here distance from space to centre of earth that is

distance = altitude + earth radius

distance = 612000 + 6.38 × $10^{6}$ m

distance = 6.99 × $10^{6}$ m

so now we get here magnitude of the gravitational force that is express as

magnitude of the gravitational force F = $\frac{G*M*m}{distance^2}$ ...........1

here G is gravitational constant that is 6.67 × $10^{-11}$ Nm² /kg and M is mass of space and m is mass of earth

put here all value we get

F = $\frac{G*M*m}{distance^2}$

F = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*5.97*10^{24}*11100}{(6.99*10^{6})^2}$

F = 9.04 × $10^{4}$ N

so magnitude of the gravitational force is 9.04 × $10^{4}$ N

How do stars serve as evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang theory?

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. in 6.00 s, it rotates 44.5 rad. du

Klio2033 [76]

a. The disk starts at rest, so its angular displacement at time $t$ is

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

It rotates 44.5 rad in this time, so we have

$44.5\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac\alpha2(6.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Since acceleration is constant, the average angular velocity is

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\omega_f}2$

where $\omega_f$ is the angular velocity achieved after 6.00 s. The velocity of the disk at time $t$ is

$\omega=\alpha t$

so we have

$\omega_f=\left(2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.00\,\mathrm s)=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

making the average velocity

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{14.8\frac{\rm rad}{\rm s}}2=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

Another way to find the average velocity is to compute it directly via

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{44.5\,\rm rad}{6.00\,\rm s}=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. We already found this using the first method in part (b),

$\omega=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. We already know

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

so this is just a matter of plugging in $t=12.0\,\mathrm s$ . We get

$\theta=179\,\mathrm{rad}$

Or to make things slightly more interesting, we could have taken the end of the first 6.00 s interval to be the start of the next 6.00 s interval, so that

$\theta=44.5\,\mathrm{rad}+\left(14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

Then for $t=6.00\,\rm s$ we would get the same $\theta=179\,\rm rad$ .

When must batteries in an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be replaced or recharged, if re-chargeable?

tatiyna

Answer:

After one half of the battery's useful life.

Explanation:

Batteries of the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) must be replaced or recharged after one half of the battery's useful life because if it is exposed to the high temperature for a long period of time such as the air plane parked in the sun will result in the deterioration of battery which may makes the transmitter out of order before the expiry date of the battery. So it will be safe to do that after the use of one half of the battery's life.
